- Description/content
- Biophysics is a very exciting and rapidly expanding research field that explores new areas between physics and biology. The complexity of life is investigated at every level and analysed with physical methods. At Ulm University, we strive to understand these molecular interactions and the mechanisms that control them, to learn more about life processes, their underlying physical principles and the bases of disease in case of malfunction.
The aim of the Master's programme in Biophysics is the following:
• to provide a comprehensive education and hands-on research in modern biophysics
• to prepare students for the interdisciplinary nature of modern-day life sciences
• to train students in quantitative thinking and in state-of-the-art experimental techniques reflecting current research
Students will deepen their previous knowledge of biophysics, chemistry and biochemistry, and will be supported in carrying out their first independent research project.
Our interdisciplinary research environment is based on strong collaborations between physics, chemistry and biology. Hence, students may choose Master's courses from a wide field of subjects, examples of which include the following: cellular biophysics, bioinformatics, neurobiology, cellular and molecular biology, nanomaterials, and polymer physics.
The Master of Science in Biophysics is a research-oriented programme targeted at highly motivated students with a strong interest both in physics and biology as demonstrated in their application.
